Mr. Hood took over The Beau fort News editorship in 1942 af ter several years as a news photo grapher in Raleigh. Previously he free lanced and in 1939 was a re porter on The Reeky Mount Eve ning Telegram. He is a member of the Univer sity of North Carolina class of 19 38. And oddly enough, he never met Dr. Henderson until after leaving the campus. They almost met in 1936 when Mr. Hood was a pianist in an ama teur contest in which Dr. Hender son was master of ceremonies. The year after Mr. Hood left the campus he heard Dr. Hender son lecture in Chapel Hill. They talked briefly but it was four years before their friendship was to .be gin. This was in 1943 when Mr. Hood retiuned to Chapel Hill to get Dr. Henderson to autograph "Table Talk of G. B. S." While Dr. Henderson was writ ing. Mr. Hood remarked: "To me Shaw is an economist disguised as a playwright." Almost dropping his pen, Dr. Henderson looked up and exclaim ed, "That's what I've been trying to tell people for years." A correspondence resulted and Mr. Hood wrote several Hender son articles based on "by mail" interviews. Mr. Hood left Beaufort when his editorial summing up the agri cultural situation attracted the at tention of an Ithaca, N. Y. editor who offered him a job. When Mr. Hood got to Ithaca an agricultural roto magazine had been started and his talents as a photographer kept him busier with his camera than his typewriter. In 1943 he joined the editorial staff of The Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot. In 1945 he moved up to The Pitts burgh Press. His wife is the former Miss Eli zabeth Wallace, of Newmanstown, Pa. Their son, Christopher Rhodes Hood, was born last Nov. 8. York Zjatsry s- acc 70 ss i TsS k Shooting, Star Baseball By FRANK ECK AP Newsfeatures Sports Editor NEW YORK Baseball this season is bound to be better than anything we have ever seen since the prewar season of 1941. While a number of stories on the freshman of 1949 will be coming from Florida, California and Ariz ona training camps, let's not forget the freshman of '48. They will be sonhomores this year. Practically every manager is counting on at least one second year man. Offhand we can think of 14 players who made their mark at the first asking last season. The top men were Gene Beardon, Purple Heart Navy veteran who won 20 games and aided in Cleve land's World Series victory, and Shortstop Alvin Dark, who hit .322 for the Boston Braves. Richie Ashburn of the Phillies ran Dark a close second for Nat ional League rookie honors and is the fastest man in either league. He led both leagues in steals with 32, and hit well over .300 just as he had done in his two previous sea sons with Utica, N. Y. The Phillies also have a second year pitcher who figures to do a lot winning. He is Robin Roberts, who won seven games and had a 3.18 earned run average last season though he came up from Wilming ton Del. Other second year pitchers wor th watching in the National League are Bob Chesnes, who won 14 for the Pirates, most of them after June; Vern Bickford and Bob Hogue of the Braves, and Herman Wehmeier, who turned in 11 vic tories for a disappointing Cincin nati team. Two National League outfielders who might break in as regulars are Marvin Rackley, Brooklyn's slightly built but speedy southpaw swinger, and Don Mueler, 22-year-old Giant lefty .Rackley hit .327 for the Dodgers while Mueller bat ted .358 in 36 games. While almost every writer con tinues to heap praises on Pitcher Lou Brissle, the Athletics' war hero and Larry Doby, Cleveland's Negro has some other freshman gradu ates. Brisse won 14 games with a shin guard on one leg and Doby batted .301, ran like a deer and threw like a DiMaggio. Returns 1 Cu 'LJ ',' Marvin Rackley Hit .327 for the Dodgers Detroit has a fine looking short stop in Johnny Lipon. This time last spring at Lakeland, Fla., he ranked second to Connie Berry for the job but at the close of the sea son his average was .290. The Boston Red Sox came up last year with Bill Goodman at 1st. base. He hit .310 and plugged a big gap in the Bosox infield, The lowly St. Louis Browns found a pretty good man with a stick in Dick Kok os. He wasn't even on the roster last spring yet after starring for Toledo he hit .298 in 71 games for the Browns. A number of other 1948 rookies, while they didn't measure up to advance notices did well enough to be around at the end of the season. They include such names as Curt Simmons and Ralph Cabalero of the Phillies; Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges and Ervin Palca of the Dod gers, Ted Kluzewski of the Reds, Al Kozar and Ned Carver of the Rrowns, George Vico of the Tigers and Bob Porterfield of the Yank ees. Engineer (Continued From Page One) of Joslyn, now county superinten dent of schools in Carteret was heard by everyone who knew the educator who has done so much for Morehead City school and is now doing the same thing for the county system. Lieutenant Lewis came up to his present commission the hard way. An Annapolis gd"te or a com missioned reserve officer might re fer to him as a "mustang." That means in Navy phraseology that he came up from the ranks. When William Lewis joined the Navy back in 1930, he enlisted as an apprentice seaman. From there he could have chosen one of many branches hut he was interested in engineering. Therefore, he went into the engine rooms of ships, and learned the, fundamentals ot the job he .now. has. During those days in the engine room he was a member of what la Navy-ulk is 1 J-V Teams ap Nfrtofvru Ml to Prewai Levels Don Mueller May get Regular Job the "black gang." Eleven years after his enlistment he became a chief machinist mate and in 1943 a warrant machinist. In May 1942 he was commissioned Ensign and by 1944 he had been advanced to the rank of senior grade lieutenant. , During the war Navy oilers on which he served were in the North Atlantic. Basing at Iceland, his oiler would refuel the ships of the convoy routes to Russia. He has also served on many other ships of the Navy including the USS Kearney and the Yorktown. Since June 1947 he has been chief engi neer aboard the USS Mount Olym pus, Amphibious Group 2 com mand ship, currently having a lead ing role in the Atlantic Command' Exercises. He came aboard the Mount Olympus shortly after the vessel had been flagship of the Byrd Antarctic expedition the much publicized "Operation High jump," Like most Navy men, Lewis plans to settle down in a rural section to spend the rest of his life after retirement from the ser vice. And with him, the retirement spot he has chosen is a rural spot near Morehead City which he con siders "the garden spot of the world."

For Candies - Good Sandwiches - Hot Fresh Roasted Peanuts - Soft Drinks Covering the Bv Ayeock Brown ABOARD USS MOUNT OLYM PUS (Delayed) For many hours we have been sailing east and or west across the sundrenched waters of the blue Caribbean, in rendezvous with Rear Admiral T. H. Robbin's hunter-killer group of Task Force 24. Our position, roughly, has been about 75 miles south of Vieques and Puerto Rico. We are west of Saba Bank, Anguila, St. Martin, St. Eustatius, St. Christopher and other islands of the Lesser An tilles. These saintly sounding is lands once played an important role in the sea commerce life of eastern North Carolina ports. There are many old timers living today in such towns as Beaufort, Ocracokc, Washington, Elizabeth City. New Bern and others who recall the days of sailing ships when they were crew members of windjammers, trading lumber, shingles and naval stores for West Indian fruits, molasses and rum. The Navy's current mission in these waters is far different from the old days of sail. The Navy is hero to determine how well the unified national defense teams are trained to defend our country. Here in mid-Caribbean waters Amphibious Group 2, or many of its, ships have been practicing, since our rendezvous with the huntorkillcr forces, the modern tactics of a fast convoy. As a re sult of it all, the leaders of our Navy and Military will determine, among other things, if the fast convoy tactics being practiced are successful in evading an undersea enemy. There are submarines, a pack of them, designated as "Ene my" which have been stalking this convoy. The ship's combat Intelligence center with various electronic de vices have been reporting contact after contact with undersea ob jects since this phase of the train ing exercises began. No doubt ma ny of I he ibjects, which were re ported as contacts, were sub-, marines Some of the contacts may have been caused by lovelorn groupers or angry barracuda that live near the coral reefs of the Caribbean's floor. During the Battle of the Atlan tic back in '42 when the waters off Hatteias and Lookout became "Torpedo Junctions" our patrol craft from the section bases at Morehead City and Ocrucoke re ported many contacts on undersea objects. In the final evaluation we of DIO estimated that most of the contacts reported in those days resulted from shipwrecks long sub merged or from courting croakers and other fish. U was not often that our evaluation of the contact situations identified same as the movement of an enemy subma Rewarding, Exciting Yes, and plenty interesting, too.

They could not understand how the convoys and military vessels apparently moved continuously without stop ping to refuel or take on supplies. Just how we did the trick was considered highly classified at the time. On Sunday we saw how it was done. The ships took on fuel or supplies while underway, and this to me has been one of the most interesting phases of the Atlantic Command Exercises to date. All ships in our fast convoy took on or delivered supplies during the day. The ships do not touch but by precision navigation remain about 100 feet apart. Hawsers, blocks and tackle provide a trolley for the sealift operation between the ships. The Mount Olympus took aboard from the USS Hyades, some 15 or more tons of food. Our ship re fueled a destroyer and then took on a hundred thousand gallons or so from a big navy tanker, the USS Caloosahatchee. It was a great demonstration and was carried out without mishap. Rear Admiral vom Heimberg, noting my interest in the refueling operation explained that in the old days such a thing as transferring supplies or fuel from one ship to the other while it was underway was considered an impossibility out on the open waters of the sea. He rec lied an incident that had taken place off the coast of Japan during a similar transfer operation when he was in command of the cruiser St. Paul "il took us about eight hours to transfer mail and supplies from another ship to our cruiser," he said.
